 | Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin, weak, and break easily. |
| Osteoporosis is called a "silent disease". You can't feel or see your bones getting thinner. |
| Osteoporosis can happen to anyone. The disease has no age, gender or ethnic boundaries. |
| A broken bone can interfere with your daily activities and can have serious consequences. |
| Bone is a living and growing tissue. Throughout life, bone is constantly being renewed in a process called remodeling. |
| People who attain higher peak bone mass have larger and heavier bones and may be less likely to get osteoporosis later in life. |
